	After playing with termcaps for a few hours I finally discovered
that the terminal software I was using wouldn't pass control characters
to os9.  The software I am using is Color Connection 3 from Compuware.
The programs does a great xmodem and compuserve B but is somewhat limited
as a terminal.  One interesting thing I found out was that control
characters are stored to the capture buffer, but not sent to the screen.
I tried to use VI with the capture buffer on. The screen control
didn't appear to work, but after exiting the program I used the merge command
to send the captured buffer to the standard output and found that all the
control commands were working, including inverse video, bell, and
cursor motions.

the termcap I used is

# Tandy Color Computer 3 termcap entry
# functions supported are: 80x24 screen, backspace, clear to end of display,
# clear to end of line, clear screen, cursor motion, home,
# cursor up/down/left/right, alternet character set on/off (reverse vidio)

This version has some bugs fixed since my last posting.

Now,	does anyone know of terminal software which doesn't suppress
controll characters?	Also I would like to know if kermit works with
the cc3.  I downloaded the latest version from compuserve and tried using
it with the standard t2 acia driver supplied with os9 l2.  The program just
exits immediately.

					Bye for now
